This is just a small sample of our mountain of paperwork. This is just the paperwork that needs to be filled out for our embassy visit in Almaty. This is not counting our Dossier , home study and Docs that are apostlized in triplicate. All of these papers need to be with us on our carry on. We are pretty sure that because of us there are a few less trees out there :) We went and had our passport photos taken for our visa applications. I would show them if they (mine at least) were not hideous. But they will do the job. Hopefully we will be leaving 2 weeks from today. FINGERS CROSSED
